Case: Parents Overstepping Boundaries
I recently emailed a parent about her child not completing her homework. The parent responded and said, "I know. When I dropped her off for Early Bird (our before school program), we looked in her desk and found her homework there". This told me that the parent went in my classroom 1) without my permission and 2) when I was not there. I feel this was wrong. I do not know who allowed them to walk the halls before hours, but other children's information could have been out, the parent could have gone through my things, anything could have happened. I have started locking my doors, and taking the key; I know teachers can be sneaky as well. Am I wrong for going to this extent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think that there is anything wrong with locking your classroom door! It is better to be safe than sorry - you never know what another person might do. If the parent notices this and asks you about accessing the classroom, I would just politely explain that you have recently started locking your door because of the confidential files that are in the classroom. If the parent has a problem with this, maybe make some sort of arrangement where you can leave homework sheets (or whatever the parent is trying to look at) in a folder outside the classroom door for pickup? Or invite them to come in some time when you're there and you can go over the homework sheets with them personally. |

| Comments: I like that you suggested a polite explanation with regard to confidential files be provided to the parent. I also like the idea of making time to go over work with the parent outside of classroom hours. |

| Comments: I most certainly agree with locking the door because the parents should not be walking around the school campus if teachers have not arrived yet. Plus you can never be to careful with other teachers and parents. I like how you suggested that you can come up with an arrangement to put the homework sheets in a folder outside of the classroom. |
